Increasing regulation and costs of soil fumigation to manage diseases such as
Verticillium wilt caused by soil-borne pathogens have prompted a search for
management alternatives. Single-year microplot experiments were conducted in 2002
and 2003 in central Oregon to evaluate the effects of Austrian winter pea, broccoli,
and Sudan grass green...
An experiment was conducted to determine the effect a newborn calf would have on initial success rate, lactation performance, infertility and progesterone levels during mammogenesis and lactogenesis in dairy cows undergoing hormonal inducement to lactate. Fourteen Holstein, Brown Swiss and Jersey infertile, non-lactating cows, loaned by Pacific Northwest dairymen, were...
Clostridium perfringens is an anaerobic, gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium that leads to a broad range of diseases in humans and animals [23, 27, 50]. Among seven C. perfringens types (type A-G), type F is known to be the most common bacteria that is responsible for causing human food-borne disease outbreaks...
The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...
The Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics (NE/RHP) at Oregon State University (OSU) has been developing an innovative modular reactor plant concept since being initiated with a Department of Energy (DoE) grant in 1999.
This concept, the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), is an integral pressurized water...
Wine grape pomace (WGP), the byproduct from winemaking, is a good source of polyphenols and dietary fibers, and may be utilized as antioxidant dietary fibers (ADF) for food applications. The objectives of this thesis research were to first determine the phenolic compounds, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in red WGP under...
The reproductive biology of Kidderia (Kidderia) subquadratum
(Pelseneer, 1903) was studied from collections which were made at
Palmer Station, Antarctica during 1970 and 1971. Kidderia subquadratum
is a small lamellibranch (the largest observed was 6.8
mm long) found on rocky substrates in the intertidal and subtidal
zones of the Antarctic...
